Wiper Conversion

Post by Manarius »

I was recently driving around in the wintry weather, and went to use my Windshield washers and realized how crappy they are. How feasible would it be to get a set of wipers with sprayers on the wiper? Do any Subaru's even have this feature or would I have to fab up something of my own?

Go to the scrap yard and get some off a GM, grand am or something. I think they just clip on to the arm. I dont see why you want them on the wiper, mine work fine off the hood. maybe you need to jab a pin into the holes.

I was thinking of changing the sprayers on mine to a more recent model's that has the more fine misting action.

Remove the sprayers, put them in vinegar for ~2 hours and blow them with compressed air... check hoses for dirt, clean them if necessity;
